The sign at 7:50 says "Stop. This is the border between Finland and Russia. Going over the border is prohibited. " I wonder who's idea was it to write that only in Finnish. :)
@DonnZ0r Probably because of the Nordic convention. Finnish and Norweigan are mutually intelligble. And I read somewhere once that alot of Finns / russian can speak and read both along the border. I always thought that it was cool that Finns , Swedes ,Danes and Norwegians could speak to each other in thier home language and be understood.
@scdefion Finnish and Norweigan are not mutually intelligble. Swedish and Norwegian are. Finnish and Estonian are. Finnish is a language that was born in areas of Ural in Russia (although Finnish language has nothing to do with Russia) and the tribes that invented it moved to areas of Finland, Estonia and Hungary and later became their own languages. I cannot understand hungarians, but I can understand Estonians as a Finnish person.
You're both right and wrong! I wrote "midges": small biting insects common in Northern Europe during the summer. However, the translation is somewhat incorrect; Lars said "mygg" (mosquito), not "knott" (midge).
